The physical phenomena used in thermonuclear fusion are set out in the following section, accessible to anybody having a basic scientific knowledge. This may be read in linear fashion by starting here, and clicking on the arrow to get to the next page, or by going directly to the
chosen chapter of your choice in the index. If you wish to have a more summarised view of the operation of a tokamak, return to basic principles. And if you wish to capture the atmosphere of a major research laboratory, go and have a look at the control room, and experience
a common day in the life of a Tore Supra physicist!
